UAE hits 97% AI utilization with new readiness index

November 06, 2025 (MLN): The United Arab Emirates has unveiled the Artificial Intelligence Readiness Index, a strategic initiative designed to evaluate the preparedness of federal entities to lead in the era of AI.

The declaration was made during the UAE Government Annual Meetings 2025 in Abu Dhabi, where chief AI officers from various federal agencies gathered to discuss national experiences and future strategies in artificial intelligence, reported APP.

The initiative emphasizes the UAE’s commitment to digital transformation, with government entities achieving a record 97% utilization rate of AI tools. This milestone highlights the nation’s agility in adopting advanced technologies and reinforces its position as a global leader in artificial intelligence and innovation.

Experts noted that AI development and adoption are equally important for advancing technological progress. Countries that have successfully implemented AI solutions, even without developing them locally, are now setting benchmarks in digital transformation and technological leadership.

The UAE emphasizes that artificial intelligence is not a replacement for human capability but a tool to empower citizens and enhance efficiency. By multiplying productivity, AI effectively amplifies the output of every Emirati, equating the nation’s productive capacity to that of 100 million people.

Officials highlighted that the new era of AI-driven competition is defined by intelligence and speed rather than size or age, showcasing how technological innovation can transform national productivity and global competitiveness.

The launch of the AI Readiness Index reflects the UAE’s vision to harness artificial intelligence responsibly, ensuring that human potential remains at the center of technological advancement.
